A week or two after the recent cost-of-living bonus payment was made to families, I started getting calls, primarily from pensioners, who were shocked and surprised that they had not received the €200 cost-of-living payment. These people are adult dependants on a social welfare payment. This seems grossly unfair because they were given to believe they would qualify as they get the Christmas bonus. Those who are affected by this are predominantly from low-income households.
